Chaptico, on 18th instant, ELLA, youngest
daughter OF Sarah and Henry HAYDEN. AGED
~ years IL Is with deep sense of sym-
patty that tender this tribute OF resr,ect
and esteem for dear Ella, my Companion
and schoOImate. She was % very kind and
gentle that all who knew her dearly loved
her, and BY her parents, brothers and sis
tiers, who are now left 10 mourn her irrep-
arabic loss, she was, in word. entirely
idolized. Grim death, that ruthless des-
troyer Of mankind, Il always an unyel
come visitor, but il is made doubly so when
II takes from us one so young, SO fair. and
80 much beloved. But we calmly submit
and deyoutly bow 10 the viii Of Divine
Providence.
Grief stricken family, cease weeping, and
let your sorrow be turned into low Al the
thought OF your darling Ella being az rest
in Jesus.
Her little chairs made empty,
And her voice no more win resound.
For shes living in yon church yard,
Within the cold, damp ground.
But weep not, loving parents,
For your darling little girl.
She has only gone to God above,
The home prepared for all.

sickness, which she bore with great f1rti-
ture and resignation, MARY s. WISE. in
the 81 year Of her aye.
In the death of this estimable iady the
community has lost one of its best members.
She was a lady whose benevolent heart.
and engaging though unassuming manners
ondeared her to wide CIRCLE of acquain-
tances. Sensible of her approaching end
she met death with the composure which is
derived from reflection upon a well spent
life. During her illness Il was difficult 10
say which was the most signal, her great
sufferings or the firmness and ever cher
tulness with which she sustained them In
her domestic relations she was tender and
aftectionate, devoted mother and a kind
friend. Human distress obtained imme-
diate access TO her heart, and everfound
her hand open 10 its relief Ardent in her
feeling, her affections excited her 10 active
exertions for the good of those she loved.
Her religious sentiments were of the most
elevated stamp and were the more exalted
as they infused themselves into heE actions,
ana Formed the rule of her conduct through
life, as they powerfully influenced her life,
SO they brought her consolation and peace
on the bed of death. She died declaring
her belief in the Holy Catholic Church and
her reliance on the mercy of God and the
merits OF her Redeemer.
Dearest mother thog hast left US,
We thy lost most deeply feel:
Yet It's God that ha.h bereft us,
He can all our sorrow heal.
